Is Differentiable at X=A Means F '(A) Exists. If the Derivative The Derivative as a Function Differentiable: A function, f(x), is differentiable at x=a means f '(a) exists. If the derivative exists on an interval, that is , if f is differentiable at every point in the interval, then the derivative is a function on that interval. f ( x h ) f ( x ) Definition: f ' ( x ) lim . h 0 h ( x h ) 2 x 2 x 2 2 xh h 2 x 2 Example: f ( x ) x 2 f ' ( x ) lim lim lim (2 x h ) 2 x h 0 h h 0 h h 0 Exercise: Show the derivative of a line is the slope of the line. That is, show (mx + b)' = m The derivative of a constant is 0. Linear Rule: If A and B are numbers and if f '(x) and g '(x) both exist then the derivative of Af+Bg at x is Af '(x) + Bg '(x). That is (Af + Bg)'(x)= Af '(x) + Bg '(x) Applying the linear rule for derivatives, we can differentiate any quadratic. Example: g ( x ) 4 x 2 6 x 7 g ' ( x ) 4(2 x ) 6 8 x 6 We can find the tangent line to g at a given point. Example: For g(x) as above, find the equation of the tangent line at (2, g(2)). g(2)=4(4)-12+7= 11 so the point of tangency is (2, 11). To get the slope, we plug x=2 into g '(x)=8x-6 the slope is g'(2)= 8(2)-6=10 so the tangent line is y = 10(x - 2) + 11 Notations for the derivative: df df f ' ( x ) f ' (a ) dx dx x a If a function is differentiable at x=a then it must be continuous at a. Contrapositive: If a function is not continuous at x=a then it is not differentiable at a. The following example illustrates why. x 2 x 2 Example: f ( x ) This is not continuous at 2 so why does that mean it is not 5 x 2 differentiable at 2? f (2 h ) f (2) (2 h ) 2 5 lim lim As h approaches 0, the numerator approaches -1 and the h 0 h h 0 h denominator approaches 0, the left side approaches infinity and the right side approaches minus infinity and the limit does not exist. Graphically, you cannot draw a line tangent to the graph at x=2 and passing through (2, 5). A function is not differentiable where it has a corner, a cusp, a vertical tangent, or at any discontinuity. These are some possibilities we will cover. Examples of corners and cusps. 1. f ( x ) | x 2 4 | This function turns sharply at -2 and at 2. It is not differentiable at x= - 2 or at x=2. To graph it, sketch the graph of x 2 4 and reflect the region where y is negative across the x-axis. 2. f ( x ) x 2 3 Graph it in your calculator and you will see the cusp at (0, 0). 3. When a piecewise function is continuous at a but the left and right pieces meet at different slopes, the function has a corner at a. x 2 x 3 Example: f ( x ) Check that f is continuous at 3. 5 x 6 3 x The slope of the left piece at 3 is the derivative of x 2 at x=3. We found the derivative of is 2x so the slope of the left piece at 3 is 6. The slope of the right piece is 5. The pieces meet at an obtuse corner. A more obvious corner occurs in |x| at x=0. Vertical Tangents occur when f is continuous but f ' has a vertical asymptote. g ( x ) x1 3 has a vertical tangent at x=0. Example: f ( x ) ( x 2 4)1 3 Graph this function in your calculator. It has vertical tangents at x= - 2 and at x=2. We will learn how to find this derivative in later sections. .

    COUNTING ELLIPTIC CURVES WITH A RATIONAL N-ISOGENY FOR SMALL N BRANDON BOGGESS AND SOUMYA SANKAR Abstract. We count the number of rational elliptic curves of bounded naive height that have a rational N-isogeny, for N ∈ {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 16, 18}. For some N, this is done by generalizing a method of Harron and Snowden. For the remaining cases, we use the framework of Ellenberg, Satriano and Zureick-Brown, in which the naive height of an elliptic curve is the height of the corresponding point on a moduli stack. 1. Introduction ′ Let E be an elliptic curve over Q. An isogeny φ : E E between two elliptic curves is said to be cyclic ¯ → of degree N if Ker(φ)(Q) ∼= Z/NZ. Further, it is said to be rational if Ker(φ) is stable under the action of the absolute Galois group, GQ. A natural question one can ask is, how many elliptic curves over Q have a rational cyclic N-isogeny? Henceforth, we will omit the adjective ‘cyclic’, since these are the only types of isogenies we will consider. It is classically known that for N 10 and N = 12, 13, 16, 18, 25, there are infinitely many such elliptic curves. Thus we order them by naive≤ height. An elliptic curve E over Q has a unique minimal Weierstrass equation y2 = x3 + Ax + B where A, B Z and gcd(A3,B2) is not divisible by any 12th power. Define the naive height of E to be ht(E) = max A∈3, B 2 .

  • Rational Curve with One Cusp
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 89, Number I, September 1983 RATIONAL CURVE WITH ONE CUSP HI SAO YOSHIHARA Abstract. In this paper we shall give new examples of plane curves C satisfying C — {P} = A1 for some point fECby using automorphisms of open surfaces. 1. In this paper we assume the ground field is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let C be an irreducible algebraic curve in P2. Then let us call C a curve of type I if C — {P} = A1 for some point PEC, and a curve of type II if C\L = Ax for some line L. Of course a curve of type II is of type I. Curves of type II have been studied by Abhyankar and Moh [1] and others. On the other hand, if the logarithmic Kodaira dimension of P2 — C is -oo or the automorphism group of P2 —■C is infinite dimensional, then C is of type I [3,6]. So the study of type I seems to be important, but only a few examples are known that are of type I and not of type II. Moreover the definitions of those examples are not so plain [4,5]. Here we shall give new examples by using automorphisms of open surfaces. 2. First we recall the properties of type I. Let (ex,...,et) be the sequence of the multiplicities of the infinitely near singular points of P in case C is of type I with degree d > 3. Then put t R = d2- 2 e2-e, + 1. Since a curve of type II is an image of a line by some automorphism of A2 [1], we see that R > 2 for this curve by the same argument as below.

It typically happens that such singular points appear in couples, connected by a curve of hyperbolic singular points. We show that such a couple gives rise to two possible topological types as base of the integrable torus bundle, that we call pleat and flap. When the topological type is a flap, the system can have non- trivial monodromy, and this is equivalent to the existence in phase space of a lens space compatible with the singular Lagrangian foliation associated to the completely integrable system.

  • CALCULUS I §2.2: Differentiability, Graphs, and Higher Derivatives
    MATH 12002 - CALCULUS I x2.2: Differentiability, Graphs, and Higher Derivatives Professor Donald L. White Department of Mathematical Sciences Kent State University D.L. White (Kent State University) 1 / 10 Differentiability The process of finding a derivative is called differentiation, and we define: Definition Let y = f (x) be a function and let a be a number. We say f is differentiable at x = a if f 0(a) exists. What does this mean in terms of the graph of f ? If f 0(a) = lim f (a+h)−f (a) exists, then f (a) must be defined. h!0 h Since the denominator is approaching 0, in order for the limit to exist, the numerator must also approach 0; that is, lim (f (a + h) − f (a)) = 0: h!0 Hence lim f (a + h) = f (a), and so lim f (x) = f (a), h!0 x!a meaning f must be continuous at x = a. D.L. White (Kent State University) 2 / 10 Differentiability But being continuous at a is not enough to make f differentiable at a. Differentiability is \continuity plus." The \plus" is smoothness: the graph cannot have a sharp \corner" at a. The graph also cannot have a vertical tangent line at x = a: the slope of a vertical line is not a real number. Hence, in order for f to be differentiable at a, the graph of f must 1 be continuous at a, 2 be smooth at a, i.e., no sharp corners, and 3 not have a vertical tangent line at x = a.

The first graph had a “corner” or a sharp turn and the derivatives from the left and right did not match. The second graph had a “cusp” where secant line slope approach positive infinity from one side and negative infinity from the other. The third graph had a “vertical tangent line” where the secant line slopes approach positive or negative infinity from both sides.

  • Figure 1: Finding a Tangent Plane to a Graph
    Figure 1: Finding a tangent plane to a graph Math 8 Winter 2020 Tangent Approximations and Differentiability We have seen how to find partial derivatives of functions from R2 to R, and seen how to use them to find tangent planes to graphs. Figure 1 shows the graph of the function f(x; y) = x2 + y2. The two red curves are the intersections of the graph with planes x = x0 and y = y0, and the yellow lines are tangent lines to the red curves, also lying in those planes. The slopes of the yellow lines (vertical rise over horizontal run, where the z- axis is vertical) are the partial derivatives of f at the point (x; y) = (x0; y0). The plane containing those yellow lines should be tangent to the graph of f. The phrase should be is important here. So far, we have pretty much been assuming this works. There is a very good argument that if there is any plane tangent to this graph at this point, it must be the plane containing these yellow lines, because those lines are tangent to the graph. But how do we know there is any tangent plane at all? 1 2xy Figure 2: Graph of f(x; y) = . px2 + y2 If (x; y) = (r sin θ; r cos θ), then f(x; y) = r sin(2θ). It turns out that a function can have partial derivatives without its graph having a tangent plane. Here is an example.

This is especially true for simply connected 4-manifolds: a longstanding conjecture held that every smooth simply connected closed 4-manifold is the connected sum of manifolds, each admitting a complex structure with one of its orientations. (For this conjec- ture, the 4-sphere was considered as the empty connected sum.) Quite recently, this was disproved by Gompf and Mrowka [GM1] who produced infinite families of examples of 4-manifolds homeomorphic to the K3 surface and which admit no complex structure with either orientation. The discovery of these dramatic counterexamples to the h-cobordism theorem in dimension 4 was the most recent success in a long line of applications of Donaldson invariants to the study of smooth structures on 4-manifolds, beginning with Donaldson's [D4], and followed by [FM1, Ko, OV1, OV2] which depended on Donaldson's F-invariant or a suitable generalization, and [FMM, DK, E2, EO1, Mn2, Sa], using Donaldson's polynomial invariant. A common thread running through many of these counterexamples to the h-cobordism conjecture is the process of logarithmic transformation which introduces multiple fibres in an elliptic surface.

  • Limit Definition of the Derivative
    Limit Definition of the Derivative We define the derivative of a function f(x) at x = x0 as 0 f(x0 + h) − f(x0) 0 f(z) − f(x0) f (x0) = lim or f (x0) = lim h!0 h z!x0 z − x0 if these limits exist! We'll usually find the derivative as a function of x and then plug in x = a. (This allows us to quickly find the value of the derivative a multiple values of a without having to evaluate a limit for each of them.) f(x + h) − f(x) f(z) − f(x) f 0(x) = lim or f 0(x) = lim h!0 h z!x z − x (The book also defines left- and right-hand derivatives in a manner analogous to left- and right-hand limits or continuity.) Notation and Higher Order Derivatives The following are all different ways of writing the derivative of a function y = f(x): d df dy · f 0(x); y0; [f(x)] ; ; ;D [f(x)] ;D [f(x)] ; f dx dx dx x (The brackets in the third, sixth, and seventh forms may be changed to parentheses or omitted entirely.) If we take the derivative of the derivative we get the second derivative. We can also find other higher order derivatives (third, fourth, fifth, etc.).
